Hostile Player. What to do?

LondonYankee · 07-07-2013, 08:34 AM

So I signed a free agent Japanese SP. He's pitching well but his behaviour is bizarre. First he had a verbal bust up with fans; then a verbal bust up with the team manager and now he's attacked my starting RF in the dugout.
The news item says a team announcement is expected shortly on 'the handling of the situation'
What can I do? Do I just have to wait for this to play out?

I remember hearing things like this were supposed to be added to OOTP either this year or last year but I've never seen anything like this at all. Is there a way to turn it on?

LondonYankee · 07-07-2013, 09:22 AM

Well I haven't changed any settings so I guess it's on by default.
I don't mind it being there if I can affect the outcome. Surely I should be able to fine him or send him to anger management or something?

It is too bad there is no virtual ritual knife available.

Is this just a case of "Manny being Manny"?

Actually, it sounds like one of those Storylines story arcs. If you don't want to see the bitter end, if there is one coming, you can turn them off in Game Setup, Global Setup, Misc. Options.

I didnt know Carlos Zambrano pitched for the Yankees, or was Japanese.

I'll let it play out. Weirdly there's been no follow up in over a month. Hope he doesn't get suspended though because he's been on fire ever since.
Good to know I can turn them off if I want though.

Actually, it's not over and you have a decision coming up. Don't look into the attached file if you don't want to spoil your surprise! (This is from the default_storylines.xml file and is quite interesting to see how the story arc is constructed.)

SPOILER ALERT!

Yes. LondonYankee, it would be good if you would come back and post the final results, if any. Then perhaps look at the above text file to see if your experience matched the programming therein.

I certainly shall Bru. Thanks for your help.
